Fopp, Sidney Street

Buying presents for loved ones can prove to be difficult, making DVDs and books two of the top presents to buy relatives.

With Christmas coming, there will be a significant increase in customers heading to Fopp for those last minute stocking fillers- and the Cambridge branch is currently advertising for Christmas temp workers to help out from the end of October.

The contracts will last up until Christmas, lasting for 15 hours a week. Previous customer service experience is advantageous, as duties will revolve around replenishing stock and not just serving, but "inspiring" customers. Knowledge of music, film and books is also an advantage, as customers will rely on your reccomendations.

Hotel Chocolat, Lion Yard

Aside from appearing in advent calendars every day until the 25th, how is chocolate relevant to Christmas? Well, the answer is pretty simple - it makes a tasty stocking filler, and hundreds of people will be heading to the store for gifts on the lead up to the big day.

As a member of the Christmas temp staff, you'll be responsible for replenishing stock and interacting with customers - while previous barista experience may also come in handy at the cafe.

Sniggle, Lion Yard

You might not think that stationery would be a particularly popular choice of gift but you'd be wrong, as a Christmas temp staff member is needed to join the team.

A salesperson is needed from mid-October to assist at the store across busy trade periods, with all training delivered on the job. Although this vacancy is just for a seasonal position, development opportunities are likely. Click here to apply.
